Angela Hördt

As Administrative Assistant to the Managing Director, Prof. Dr. Katharina Landfester, I provide comprehensive support at the executive level, ensuring smooth and efficient day-to-day operations. I coordinate schedules, manage complex calendars, organize business travel, and independently oversee the office.

At the same time, I act as a central interface between the Managing Director and the entire research group – from interns and students to doctoral researchers, postdocs, and group leaders. I am also in close exchange with other research groups, the administration, and external partners.

I ensure a reliable flow of information, maintain structured processes, and support smooth collaboration across all levels.

A respectful and appreciative working environment is essential to me. I have an open ear for the team’s concerns – especially for our international colleagues.

I strongly believe that clear communication builds trust and creates a working atmosphere in which everyone feels supported and can collaborate successfully.
